• Serve as a more easily remembered link to the original idea
• Motivate learners by attracting attention, holding attention and generating emotional responses.
• Simplify information leading to better understand
• Provide a redundant channel

Instructional Media

How is the term instructional media defined? Why are teachers chalkboards, and textbooks excluded from the definition?

The term instructional media has been defined as the physical means via which instruc­tion is presented to learners (Reiser & Gagnt. 1983) Teachers chalkboards and textbooks were the three primary means of instruction before the twentieth century. To clearly describe the history of media, these three means are excluded.

Core Elements of Instructional Design

Core elements of ID process may differ from the used method/system but the base structure nearly remains always the same. These core elements can be gathered under the ADDIE Model, which consists of:

• Analysis
• Design
• Development
• Implementation
• Evaluation
